Paul Walker is still kickin' ass even after he's gone as his friends, family, and costars continue to remember him and honor him in a way he truly deserved.

He's even getting a black belt!

His Jiu-Jitsu teacher Ricardo "Franjinha" Miller posted a heartfelt message about the star, and has given him an honorary black belt in memoriam. Ricardo is the one who taught Paul everything he knew for the Fast and Furious franchise for nine years!

His touching message said:

"A mutual friend had sent Paul my way, but I did not recognize him when he first walked in the door. In part, it was because he did not carry himself like a movie star, or a Hollywood big shot. Without the burden of a heavy ego, he was easy going with a ready smile. Like the Spartan setting of the gym, he was simple and unpretentious. Although he came looking for lessons in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, our bond went beyond the student and teacher dynamic. We became fast friends. He brought me down to Ensenada for the filming of The Life and Death of Bobby Z. We travelled to L.A to watch the UFC. More recently, Paul had me in Montreal to add a personal touch to the fight scenes in his movie, Brick Mansions.

"He always wanted to showcase Jiu-Jitsu in his movies. Rather than the punches and kicks so common to many action films, he wanted to use his movies as a stage for Jiu-Jitsu. Some of the Jiu-Jitsu techniques from our training sessions were utilized in the Fast and Furious series. Paul would always tell me that he did not just want to be known for fast cars. He wanted to be known for fast cars and Jiu-Jitsu. He wanted to be an ambassador for Jiu-Jitsu."

Unfortunately, Paul never got a chance to earn his black belt. Miller continued:

"Paul was like many white belts; he wanted to know about becoming a black belt. I told him that at Paragon we don’t give away black belts. I said that I didn’t care who he was, I was not giving him a 'celebrity black belt.' He loved that! But he was determined to become a black belt. He said, 'I will get my black belt, even if I need to get it in my coffin.' Now in the wake of his death, I would like to reward Paul Walker the black belt that he wanted so much during his life."

Paul was 40 years old when he passed away in an car crash just a few weeks ago, and it still hurts!

We're happy to see the outpouring of love and support for him, though, even in his passing. He truly was loved!
